All automobiles parked on campus by students, faculty, or staff must have a valid parking permit. Student parking permits are good for the academic year only. The Office of Residence Life (a unit of Student Development), upon completion of the registration process, provides student parking permits. Permits are good only for indicated areas. Parking outside indicated areas is a violation and subject to fine. Parking is permitted on marked paved or graveled areas only. Parking in front of dumpsters, in fire lanes, or on the grass is strictly prohibited. Vehicles parked in the fire lanes, other unauthorized places, and disabled or abandoned, or vehicles with repetitive violations may be subject to towing or impoundment at the owners expense.
